Toshiba Portégé Microsite Detail
At the time of launch, the Toshiba Portégé was the world's lightest fullsize laptop. The site features a 3d menu, built with PaperVision3D and explores a theme of weightlessness. The build was based on my localisation framework and the site was launched in 17 counrties, in 15 different languages.
Key features
- Portable architecture (run time server configuration via XML)
- Run-time font loading
- XML content
- Multiple tracking systems
- 3d Menu (PaperVision3d)
I built the Flash (ActionScript3) parts of the site and managed the production of the 3d models (supplied by Luma). This site became the first of three Flash websites for Toshiba built on my localisation framework and under my technical direction. The second site (Toshiba Satellite) was built by Tonic's Tony Curry and Julio Ruiz. The third (Toshiba Qosmio) was outsourced. This site was also Tonic's first AS3 project.
